Themen/adsl@ rcenedtcini, EDWARD Y. Romains, of Cincinnati, Hamilton county, Ohio, have invented a" new and useful 'liie Stove, of which this. is a specitiation.

Nature and Objects'of the Invention.

This invention relates to that class of stoves in which the various.cooking-apartments or ov'ens are arranged one'above another; and

ihe first part of my invention consists in a peculiar construction of a. tile stove of two or more sections, each of said 'sections being detachable and complete in itself, and having its wall composed of a tile or tiles.

The second part of my invention relates to the manner of constructing thewalls of said detachable sections, these walls hcingcomposed of one or more tiles whose upper and lower edges' are confined within and protected oysuitable angle-iron rings, which lutter are united by' rods or bolts 'that pass through them and through recesses or holes in said tiles. The third part of, my improvements consists in proccmpose the walls of the sepambie sections with a. series of chambers, which not onlyr lightens said tiles, butalso increases their nonconducting qualities by vapomzing within them a. body of confined air.

llhe fourth part of my improvements consists in arranging the tile wall around the duesin such a manner thaten airspace will be formed between said tiles and fines which incluse the fines et'every'p'ait and prevent'the injurious heating of the said tiles and retain the heat within the oven. A

General Description 'with Reference to the Dra wing.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improvedtile stove with-the. doors of the fire-chamber and oven' thrown open. Figure 2 is avertical section from front to rear of the sume with ull of the doors closed.

Figure 3 is a horizontal section through the baking-oven et 'the line :c-x.

Figure 4c is a perspective view of the central section oi' my stove detached from the rest of the apparatus.

Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view, showing the method of securing the tiles within their angie-iron rings.

Figure 6 isl a plan, showing a portion of two contiguous tiles, and also a part of one of the ongle-iron rings.

Figure 7 is a perspective view of n portion of a tile with its coniiningwing removed.

The lowermost member of my range is the tirechanxber A, above which there are 'located successively the boiling or frying-compartment B and baking-oven i), these ovens being preferably of the segmeutai'i'orm shown in iig. 3, hut muy be square ol' of other shape.

4such a manner that there by a n ut, as represented in fig. 5;

mteznteudmniningpsrtorshe interposed between the tire-chamber A, ovens B C, and top plate II.) of the stove are three dues, "E F G, whose shape.corresponds with that ot'A theovens. L

Uommuuicationibetween the'iower due E andjintermediate iiue F is eiectedA y'pipe H, which issitusted in the rear part of oven B. y -Y The intermediate ilus F is connected with the upperone G by' pipes N N', that' are located at the sides of the bakingoven O. f

The wall of'the'stcve is, composed of three distinct, and separable tile sections, JK Ii, and three fratfront plates, j l: l, of the same height as said til i f These tiles are arranged concentrically around the fines of the stove, but not in actual contact therewith, a a suiiicient space, Bf C', being left between said tiles and iiues to' preveut'tho tiles becoming, iniuriously heated. v Mm W. f, m

In order to have the tiles as light as is consistent with strengthJ provide them with e number of longitudinal and parallel chambers or cavities, I, which contain imprisoned air within them. f

When all of the detachable sections are united so as to form a complete stove, they should be arranged in will 'heno escape of air from the chambers I, the open uppercnds of said chambers iu section L being covered by the' top 'plate D, while the lower open ends of the chambers in section J .are closed by the bese-plate l of the stove.

1f preferred, the.a.ngleirons may project to the ex` treme inner face of the tiles, and thus close the-open ends ofthe chambers at every joint of the section.

The top and bottom edges of the tile or tiles cornposing the walls of the detachable sections arc confined within and protected by angle-iron rings 0 P, which embrace the upper and lower edges and a portion of the external fece of the tiles, as clearly shown on an enlarged scale inv iig. 5.

These angle-iron rings are united, so as to confine the tiles between them, in the i'ollowin manner:

The vertical edges of the tiles are urnished with ssmicircular grooves r, so that when two oi' these tiles are placed edge to edge, as shown in tig; 6, a circular recess is formed between them. The angle-iron rings 0 and P are then applied to the top and bottom of the tiles; and a rod, R, js inserted in en aperture, o, of the upper ring 0, and, after passing down'the cir. cular recess, between the edges ofthe tiles, is projected through an orifice, p, of the lower ring P, and secured or this rod may pass down through holes in the body of thc tiles.

. This arrangement enables the ready detachment of a. tile which has become cracked, and the easy substitution of s new one, and renders each section complete and portable in itselil e f A Incl-der that each section -may be completein itself',

so aspto permit .of the stove being handled and transported in pieces, it is necessary that the front plateof f 'eaclnoi the sections should besecurely ,united toA the angleiron rings so as to pleventit becoming detached' therefrom, apd 1 secure these members in the following manner: V

Projecting from the angle-iron rings, and near the ends of thc same, are lugs or anges`jZ, which Aare firmly secured tothe rear oi' thefront plateby rivets 'or bolts z', as shown in lig. 3; but, if preferredfthc ends of said rings may havehooked terminations Z', which can embrace the top and ,bottomedges of said Aplates j, k, or l, and he attached to .the same by rivets'Z', ,as represented in fig. 4. f

' These angle-irons O and-,Pare provided with perforated `lugs or ears S, and the front plates j lol of the range are furnished with similar onesiT,and-when I rods U are passed down through all of said ings and engaged with nuts uthe different sections composing thestoveare immovably secured together;

' Hinged'tp the lower fr nt plate jzof the stove is the door Voi' the fire-cham r A., and this do'r is made hollow so as to contain water, and is provided with a lid, fv, and faucet fv', which permits of its being 'used as a tea-kettle.

Askeleton door, W, is also hingedl tothle lowerfront plate, and when this one is closed up against the front part of the grate a, before the hollowdoor V is shut, it prevents the water in the latter boilingaway too rapidly. The closing ofthe water-door prevents the radia- "tion of vheat into the room .from the chmberA.. The Vclosed position of both doors V and'W is shown in that are being cooked in said compartment; or these fumes may beconductedintoa separate fume-flue.

The floor or bottom plate of the compartment B has 'an opening init, which is closed by an 'ordinary stove-hole cover b".

f. and g are small doors or caps which, when removed, permit -the inspection and cleaning of their respectiveues F and G. i v

Y is the ash-pan and c the door of the baking-oven, which latter is' hinged to the upper-front plate lof the stove.

The fire-chamber Amay be surrounded with iirebrick e', and a hot-water tank or circulating-boiler 24 may be located betwcenithese bricks and the outer tile-wall J, as represented in iig. 2.

Communication between this tank and air-space B" above it, is'prevented by the plate 5"', which extends over-"to the tiie at the back of the stove.

The lhead and nut' of the rod llt1 may bc countersnnk so as to allowthe angle-irons P iitting snugly tofgether when the detachable sections are united.v

In the djawing my improvements are shown asap-- plied to a oookingstove, but it is evident that the feature of' the detachable tile-sections can he embodied in a heating-stove or range,` f

Ulai/ms.

I claim as my invention-- l I 1. Astove, consistingof two or more detachable sections, J KV L, each of said sections inchiding either the fire-chamber or the oven or some other part of the apparatus, and bcingsurrounded by a wall of tile or tiles, which are retained in position by angle-iron rings 0 P, or their equivalents, said angle-irons being se cured to the front plate of their detachable sections, for the purpose described.

' 2. Constructing the wall ofthe detachable sections of'la stove of oneor more tile or tiles L, whoseiipper and lower edges are confined within angle-iron ringo O I', that are united by rods R, which passdhrongh them, and also through recesses r or apertures insaid tile or tiles, as herein explained.

3. vllroviding the tiles which compose the wall, of' the detachable sections with a series of air-chambers I, for the purpose herein explained.

4.4 Arranging the onte'r wall K or L around the fines `or smoke-chambers EI FG id' such a manner that i spaces B or C, that wholly inclose said dues or chain bers, are formed between said'wall and iiues, for the purpose described. i a 5. The arrangement, lsubstai'itially as herein described, of the fire-chamber A., lower oven B, upper oven, and which tine is opened by the opening of' said door, as herein shown and described.
